many miles away

this poem may make you think i need help but its all true every word.

i been so caught up in my fears

i been so paranoid lately

i got so caught up

that i began to drift out of my body

not for real

so caught up that i

forgot how a touch feels

i went to a world

where nothing is seen

people at school try to talk to me

but they sound many miles away

i been so caught up in my fears

i been so paranoid lately

that i made my own barrier

this may seem wierd

but its something

i cant escape

its like my time stops

i cant explain it

its hard to know

that im un normal

im pretty sure

that if someone knew

they'd laugh and call me names

im serious

when someone says my name and keeps saying it

i feel like im many of miles away from them

but i know im right next to them

when they touch me i dont feel it

could that day in the mountain

that wierd picture

be the cause of all this

i been so caught up in my fears

i been so paranoid

have i really came close to

traveling out of my body

that cant happen

someone please tell me

im not going crazy

am i pleading with my own thoughts

am i crazy

am i crazy

or id this really happening to me

 

 

Author's Note

i know it sounds weird but its true i feel like when someone speaks to me they are miles away from me even know im next to them. it doesnt happen all the time but some times and i have no control, you may think im crazy but i dont know how else to say it. i cant even explain it.

Embrace the crazy:) You are not crazy not in the way that would make people become repelled. Let your self be... Your self. Reach out to others not just through writing but through speech. How intersesting you are. You should dig a little deeper. Pull back the layers that bind you and there within lies you, the person you may possibly fear most. It doesn't matter what others think. Honestly, that's my motto. It is how you perceive yourself, staying true to Yourself. It takes some time to get there and I know things are confusing at times, especially at the stage of life you are in right now but.... if you embrace yourself, know yourself, believe in yourself, others will follow.... No matter what comes out of your mouth... because oddities, are not odd, they are a window to another you, and that will always set you aside from the rest.

A very interesting poem. In some cultures and belief. Body can be in two places at one time. Take meditation and great need to accomplish. I like the emotion and the questions create by this poem. In dreams the body can find freedom. Hard to be in two places when our eyes are open. Thank you for a excellent poem.

I completely understand these feelings. I felt the same during my teenage years. I never completely understood it and there are times when I become distant even now...Great write.

Relax your not crazy, but if your fears are effecting you this way you need to talk to someone and get it all out before it does become serious!
